What does "Sensitive data is never tracked" mean? I can't find any more details, and is like to know exactly what on the terminal is considered non-sensitive?

We consider most things you type in your terminal to be "sensitive". Fig only ever tracks the root command for any completion you do. For instance, if you type `git push origin master` and complete on `master`, Fig will only ever see `git`

You will see my login name, the structure of my folders and my intent to take over the world. Kinda sensitive, it seems.

haha :) We actually send the name of the completion spec rather the initial token. In this case, it would be "dotslash".
